Seegnal Inc. (TSXV: SEGN) (‘Seegnal‘ or the ‘Corporation‘), a global leader in AI-enhanced prescription intelligence, today announced real-world clinical results demonstrating how medication governance may reduce fall-risk drivers in older adults — a significant clinical and financial challenge across long-term care (LTC), and risk-based care models.

The findings, presented at the CALTCM Summit for Excellence (October 23–25, 2025), provide direct evidence that prescribing decisions — when measured and governed at scale — represent one of the largest untapped levers for cost avoidance and quality improvement in senior care.

A DIRECT HIT ON ONE OF LTC’S MOST EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS

Falls are a significant cause of hospitalization, litigation exposure, staffing strain, and avoidable costs in LTC facilities.

Seegnal analyzed real-world prescribing behavior related to alpha-blocker use in older women, a known contributor to falls, using live clinical workflows rather than retrospective claims data.

The study population included 124,461 female patients aged 70 or older

Results from a three-month deployment:

• 5,088 real prescribing alerts analyzed
• 35% of cases resulted in treatment modification (~1,750 patients)
• High rates of temporary and repeated overrides, signaling systemic risk patterns rather than one-off clinical judgment

The implication for LTC operators is clear: fall risk is being created upstream at the prescription level — and can be mitigated before it becomes an admission, incident report, or lawsuit.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR PAYERS AND LONG-TERM CARE NETWORKS

Unlike traditional clinical decision support tools that fire alerts and stop there, Seegnal exposes how organizations actually prescribe, where risk accumulates, and where policy gaps exist.

For LTC operators and payers, this enables:

• Reduction in fall-related hospitalizations.
• Lower pharmacy spends and medication burden.
• Improved quality metrics and star ratings.
• Meaningful risk reduction without workflow disruption.
• Actionable data to support value-based contracts.

The results of the study are encouraging as they demonstrate the possibility of cost avoidance + capacity creation driven by real prescribing behavior.

FROM ALERTS TO PRESCRIPTION GOVERNANCE

The CALTCM findings highlight a broader structural issue in senior care: clinicians often recognize medication risk, but organizations often lack the governance layer to turn that insight into sustained, system-wide improvement.

Seegnal aims to fill that gap by acting as the Prescription Operating System for healthcare organizations — enabling them to:

• Track prescribing risk across facilities and populations.
• Distinguish justified clinical exceptions from unsafe patterns.
• Set, monitor, and refine medication policies at scale.
• Align clinical safety with financial accountability.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

‘In long-term care, falls are not just clinical events — they are balance-sheet events,’ said Elad Bibi-Aviv, Chief Executive Officer of Seegnal.

‘What this data shows is that prescribing decisions are one of the few levers organizations can control before costs explode. Seegnal gives LTC operators and payers visibility and control where it actually matters — upstream.’

‘Organizations don’t need more alerts. They need governance, measurement, and proof of value. That is exactly what Seegnal was built to deliver.’

‘Technology is essential, but the real impact on patient outcomes depends on implementation and culture. Seegnal not only integrates seamlessly into workflows but also flags non-rational medication use at the institutional level, enabling management to drive clinical excellence,’ said Dr. Shiri Guy-Alfandary, VP Clinical & Product.

BUILT FOR THE LONG-TERM CARE MARKET: DATA FIRST, FAST VALUE

Seegnal is actively opening Long Term Care engagements through a data-first model:

• Read-only clinical data access (no workflow change).
• Rapid identification of high-cost prescribing patterns.
• Clear clinical and economic KPIs.
• Scalable deployment once value is proven.

This approach aligns directly with the needs of:

• Multi-facility LTC operators.
• Payers.
• Risk-bearing provider networks.

ABOUT THE CLINICAL EVIDENCE

The findings were presented in ‘Reducing Inappropriate Use of Alpha-blockers in Geriatric Patients’ by Dr. Hen Popilski and Dr. Shiri Guy-Alfandary, PharmD, Seegnal, based on real-world prescribing data from routine clinical practice.

The US Federal Reserve held its first meeting of 2026 from Tuesday (January 27) to Wednesday (January 28) amid growing tensions between Fed independence and the Trump administration.

The central bank met analysts’ expectations by maintaining the federal funds rate in the 3.5 to 3.75 percent range. After three consecutive cuts at the end of 2025, the Fed decided to hold the line on interest rates. The board welcomed some positive signs of stabilization in the US economy, but has decided to take a “wait-and-see” approach.

The Fed has a dual mandate to promote maximum employment and price stability.

For several months now, its Board of Governors has been split between those concerned with preventing a further slowdown in the US labor market and those fearing the fight against inflation is far from over.

The Fed’s preferred inflation metric, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, came in above the 2 percent target, landing at 2.8 percent for November 2025. Meanwhile, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that the US economy added a modest 50,000 jobs in December 2025 compared to 56,000 jobs added in the previous month.

A weak labor market in the face of entrenched inflation has left the Fed in a pickle.

Lowering rates in turn lowers the cost of borrowing, which can provide businesses with more runway to grow their workforce. However, increasing available money supply by easing access to borrowing can also increase inflation.

The split between doves and hawks that began in late 2025 is still plaguing the Fed into the new year, which promises to see current Chair Jerome Powell replaced with someone more likely to be on board with the much lower rate environment desired by the Trump administration. Two Fed board members cast dissenting votes against holding rates steady, including Governor Stephen Miran and Governor Christopher Waller, who both pushed for a 0.25 percent cut.

“Economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace,” explained the Fed. “Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.”

The unemployment rate ended 2025 at 4.4 percent. While that’s historically low, data also shows limited job vacancies, and low rates of new hiring. Business Insider reporter Madison Hoff notes that economists are calling this a “low-fire, low-hire environment” due to uncertainty over where the economy is headed.

“It’s likely Fed leaders will stick to the status quo in January, in hopes that steady rates will push inflation closer to their 2% goal,” she wrote. “Affordability is a major concern for American households, as prices rise on housing, groceries, healthcare, and more. Powell has consistently prioritized price stability during his time as chair.”

During a press conference following the rate decision, Powell was careful not to commit to any future rate cut timeline. While the board still sees “some tension between employment and inflation,” that is moderating, and the Fed no longer sees any big risk either of accelerated inflation or a further significant breakdown in the labor market.

There’s also not much chance of a rate hike, either.

“We don’t take things off the table, but it isn’t anybody’s base case right now,” said Powell.

While PCE remains elevated at 2.8 percent, Powell noted that if the impact of tariffs were removed that figure would be hovering just above 2 percent. He explained that the Fed thinks this impact is largely in the rear-view mirror now.

Any day now, US President Donald Trump is expected to announce a replacement for Powell, whose term expires in May 2026. Trump has criticized the Fed and Powell in particular, saying they haven’t lowered rates quickly enough.

On October 27, US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced a shortlist of candidates to replace Powell, including Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) executive Rick Rieder.

The Wall Street heavyweight is reportedly the favored candidate at the moment.

“Under Warsh, the Fed would likely signal a preference for a smaller footprint. Despite recent support for near-term rate cuts, his longer-standing views favor a scarce-reserves framework and balance-sheet reduction, which markets would associate with higher term premium and greater yield-curve volatility,” he added.

Trump’s feud with the Fed escalated earlier this month, when the US Department of Justice served the agency with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment over Powell’s testimony to the Senate Banking Committee this past June. In addition to that, last week, the Supreme Court sat for oral arguments over whether Trump can legally remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook from her position over allegations of mortgage fraud.

Although Powell batted away any political questions from reporters during the press conference, he did acknowledge that the Supreme Court case between Trump and Cook is the most “important legal case in the Fed’s 113-year history.’

The gold price spiked to a new high of US$5,361.31 per ounce after the Fed’s decision, although much of that boost likely came from a much weaker US dollar, which is trading at four year lows. Silver traded in a range of US$110 to US$116 per ounce, just below the all-time high of US$117.72 per ounce set on Monday (January 26).

Equities reactions were fairly muted following the rate announcement on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) up 0.083 percent to reach 6,972.78. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) gained 0.31 percent to come in at 26,020.9, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:DJI) was down 0.0064 percent, coming to 49,000.29. It seems Wall Street had already factored in the Fed’s decision to hold.

The next Fed interest rate decision will come on March 18, the second to last Fed meeting before Powell’s term as chair comes to an end. Most analysts expect interest rates to remain in a holding pattern until the second half of 2026.

Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: SML; USOTC: SMCDF), an international mineral exploration and production company, is delighted to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cornwall Resources Limited (‘CRL’), has received assay results from drillhole CRD036 – the first from Pad 2 within the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project (‘Redmoor’) in southeast Cornwall – including further confirmation high-grades of tungsten and tin within the Sheeted Vein System (‘SVS’).

CRD036 was aimed at twinning*¹ historical drillholes and identifying mineralised continuity at shallower depths and within a hole designed to intersect a higher-grade, tin-dominant portion of the high-grade tungsten deposit.

Highlights:

Tin downhole intersections

• · High-grade intersections from new tin-dominant zones include:
  • 0.50m @ 1.26% Sn, 0.02% Cu & 0.02% WO₃ (1.06% WO₃.Eq) from 314.82 m
  • 0.95m @ 1.18% Sn, 0.01% Cu & 0.02% WO₃ (0.99% WO₃.Eq) from 336.05 m
  • 0.70m @ 1.92% Sn, 1.09% Cu & 0.37% WO₃ (2.23% WO₃.Eq) from 383.40 m

Tungsten downhole intersections

• High-grade tungsten intersections include:
  • 4.50m @ 0.47% WO₃, 0.14% Sn & 0.24% Cu (0.65% WO₃.Eq) from 372.50 m
  • 1.00m @ 1.00% WO₃, 0.02% Sn & 0.58% Cu (1.17% WO₃.Eq) from 406.00 m
  • 0.70m @ 0.86% WO₃, 0.07% Sn & 0.82% Cu (1.13% WO₃.Eq) from 432.00 m
• Further high-grade sample intervals, inside broad intersections, including:
  • 18.50 m @ 0.14% WO₃, 0.20% Sn & 0.25% Cu (0.37% WO_3. Eq) from 371.50 m, (see Figure 1) containing:
  • 0.80m @ 1.02% WO₃, 0.09% Sn & 0.45% Cu (1.21% WO₃.Eq) from 372.50 m
  • 0.54m @ 1.85% WO₃, 0.28% Sn & 0.22% Cu (2.13% WO₃.Eq) from 374.51 m

Copper downhole intersections

• High-grade intersections include:
  • 1.65m @ 1.09% Cu, 0.05% Sn & 0.23% WO₃ (0.56% WO₃.Eq) from 401.90 m
  • 1.00m @ 1.03% Cu, 0.04% Sn & 0.01% WO₃ (0.32% WO₃.Eq) from 415.00 m

Silver*²

• CRD036, like previous drill holes, reports elevated silver values in relation to mineralisation within zones that are copper-rich, demonstrated by:
  • 5.10m @ 0.66% Cu, 0.03% Sn & 0.34% WO₃, and 15.5g/t Ag from 401.90 m, including 1.65 m @ 33.9 g/t Ag from 401.90 m

Twinning Results and Model Updates

Positive results from the drillhole twinning, and new insights into Redmoor deposit, including:

• Twinning results between CRD036 and RM80_05B & 05C (1980s drillholes) highlight continuity of structures and reproducibility of historical results. This provides confidence for the use of the 1980s drillhole data in the deposit model and Mineral Resource estimate (‘MRE’) thereby reducing future prefeasibility drilling requirements.
• Drillhole results have returned multiple zones of high-grade tin and copper intersections, supporting the presence and continuity of tin-copper lode structures within the existing Redmoor Mineral Resource, which will be further studied as part of the MRE update – these will be further detailed in a forthcoming update on the new Redmoor deposit model.

Dennis Rowland, CRL Managing Director, said:

‘The assay results report a trifecta of high-grade tungsten, tin and copper intersections for the first time from the 2025 programme within a tin-dominant zone of the deposit, along with analytical results for silver – which are being further investigated as part of ongoing metallurgical studies.

Drillhole results continue to return multiple zones of high-grade tin and copper intersections, supporting the presence and continuity of tin-copper lode structures within the existing Redmoor Mineral Resource, which will be further modelled. This drillhole was designed as a twin of holes drilled by Southwest Minerals (SWM) in the 1980s and provides further confidence in these historical datasets.

Following the receipt of these results, an update on the new Redmoor deposit model and the outcome of the twinning programme is expected shortly.’

Mark Burnett, Strategic Minerals Executive Director, said:

‘Positive results such as these further highlight Redmoor’s position as the highest-grade, undeveloped tungsten resource in Europe, and amongst the highest grade globally.

This is a crucial time for critical minerals projects, given significant global supply chain shifts alongside export controls resulting in a marked increase in metal prices and interest in the sector. The Board are focussed on the acceleration of the Redmoor project through an updated mineral resource and planned prefeasibility study (‘PFS’) thereafter. This will be supported by the recently completed fundraise for a significant infill drilling programme, designed to shorten drillhole spacing within the resource, as the major requirement for converting the deposit to an Indicated resource classification ahead of the planned PFS.’

Detail of analytical results from CRD036

Table 1: Drillhole collar data for CRD036.

Figure 2: Plan (top-down) view of the previously modelled high-grade domains (gold) used in the 2019 Redmoor MRE, showing CRD036 (in red) and other CRL and SWM drillhole traces (black). CRD036 is an infill hole aimed at testing short-spaced continuity of structure and grade.

Drill hole CRD036 (see Table 1 & Figure 2) was intentionally drilled to twin historical drilling results and confirm the presence of tin and copper-rich structures historically drilled (drill hole RM80_05B and 05C), along with identifying the higher-grade tin-rich section of the resource and shallower extent of the SVS system. The outcomes of the twinning programme will be further detailed shortly alongside updates to the deposit model, ahead of the MRE update expected Q1 2026.

Laboratory assay results for drillhole CRD036 have returned further positive results from the current drilling programme, containing high-grade results, with tungsten (WO₃) grades reaching 1.85%, copper (Cu) grades reaching 1.09%, and very-high-grade tin (Sn) grades reaching 1.92%, from a zone of the deposit known to be enriched in tin concentrations, coupled with silver (Ag) grades of up to 33.9 g/t correlated with copper mineralisation.

Table 2 below, contains the details of the composite sample intersections including sample depths, thickness, metal content, and tungsten equivalent calculations, as well as the mineralisation style recorded by CRL geologists. The tungsten equivalent (WO3. Eq.) highlights the value-add from tin and copper to the tungsten grades of the sample intervals. Appendix 1 includes full details of each sample included in these composite intersections.

Table 2: Highlights of downhole composite sample intersections returned from recently received results from drillhole CRD036 showing interval lengths and subsequent assay results for WO3, Sn & Cu. A tungsten equivalent result has also been calculated. Composited values use a downhole length weighted average of grades.

Note*¹ Twinned drillholes refer to new CRL drillholes which are aimed to intersect SVS mineralisation in close proximity to previous historical drilling undertaken by South West Minerals in 1978-1982, in order to verify the robustness of the historical drilling data, as well as test the continuity/reproducibility of grade and structure across the spacing between the drillholes.

Note*² Further silver analysis and commentary will follow completion of metallurgical testworks and resource modelling, noting there is no assumption at this stage that silver will be recoverable or economically reportable in the Mineral Resource.

Note*³ Tungsten Equivalent (WO₃.Eq) Calculation: WO₃ (EQ)% = WO₃%+(Sn% x 0.82) + (Cu% x 0.27)

Commodity price assumptions: WO₃ US$ 43,000/t, Sn US$ 32,525/t, Cu US$ 9,429/t. Using the 12-month average to September 2025. Recovery assumptions: total WO₃ recovery 72%, total Sn recovery 68% and total Cu recovery 85%. Payability assumptions of 81%, 90% and 90% respectively.

The Company has also issued 1,300,000 new Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of 2 pence per share to an outstanding creditor to settle existing liabilities (“Creditor Shares”).

Related Party Transaction

James Ikin, who is a substantial shareholder in the Company, controls the Vendor and therefore the entering into of the SPA constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The directors of the Company, all being independent of the transaction, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.

Total Voting Rights

For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, following Admission, the Company’s issued share capital will comprise 657,337,949 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
